Tar. Yes. It was very, very interesting. I forgot to mention. There were investors from all over. There was a group of investors that called themselves: AOL Faithful's. They decided to meet at the meeting. I talked to quite a few investors but could not find anyone from SI. It looks like we have a great group of people with a great vision working for us and the internet. Marc Andreesen came up in the questions and I think it was S. Case that said M.A. wanted to do a new startup and he mentioned that AOL will probably get a chance to do business with him. If I am not mistaken I read somewhere that M.A. wants to look for new technologies and I guess AOL could make use of that. AOL is a bit disappointing today and that reminds me that one question was on how AOL will deal with the media about explaining their strategy on broadband and why it is not of the utmost importance to do something about it right this minute. It was mentioned that Bell Atlantic and AOL are up and running with DSL in some areas and somebody mentioned that they had found that DSL was about 60% faster than cable. I may have heard that not quite right though. Anyhow. With all those available shares now, I am sure, something is in the works, probably even a split soon. The shareholders did a lot of clapping when it came to the split questions. gg. Sonny
